I think that the author spent too much time problematizing books and teachers in exaggerated scenarios. At least for this audience and medium. Most people are aware that the cognitive burden to internalize the material is on the student. Very few people actually believe that a book or a teacher can transfer knowledge directly into a student. This led to numerous "you're holding it wrong" negative type of responses. I feel that I have to take the time to say that your comment is great. It conveys the same message as the article but in three short paragraphs and two examples. Also the API analogy is right on the mark to drive this message through to this audience.
